Comparing images from Opernplatz, Frankfurt am Main (2004 and 2014)
The upcoming World Wide Panorama (WWP) event is entitled ‘decade’.
In the time frame of a decade even a city can change it’s appearance. So I searched for panoramic images which I shot in 2004 and which were shot at a place which changed over the last ten years. The best example was a image of the Opernplatz, which I took back in 2004 as a cylindrical panorama. And the view of the Opernplatz (which translates to ‘the square of the opera’) indeed changed a lot in the last ten years.
So I went back and stood at the same spot where I stood a decade ago. First I took a spherical panorama with my double monopod construction. Afterwards I did a remake of the original cylindrical panorama. The following image shows the two cylindrical panoramas in a single composite.

The original panorama from 2004 is also available on the blog.
Sculpture Umschreibung – Inside
Originally this panorama was my submission to the World Wide Panaorama event ‘Decade’. I took it with a monopod mounted on a tripod and took four images with the Walimex 8mm fishe eye lens mounted on the Sony ILCE-7.
Skyline of Frankfurt am Main at dusk (2014)
This image shows a panorama which was stitched from eight images in portrait orientation. Due to the high dynamic range of the sensor I only used one exposure and brought back the shadows with Lightroom. The size of the resulting image is 19200 x 6000 pixel.
